Our proposal would <br />eliminate the city paying a wrecker to remove the vehicle as well as the need for a vehicle impound yard. <br />Additional staff (inspection and purchasing) time is spent in bid preparation for the sale of the vehicles and <br />overseeing the actual removal of the same vehicles at a later date. Records show an annual expenditure of $1,550.00 <br />in wrecker fees for fiscal years 2002 thru 2005. <br /> <br />In reviewing the current regulations, the only conflict noted for making the change was Sect. 34-171 which requires <br />the Q1y to cancel the title within five days of the vehicle removal. The ordinance attached amends that language to <br />say the title will be cancelled but does not designate the city. <br /> <br />While the title still has to be cancelled within that time period, our proposal is to require the salvage <br />company/demolisher to handle the paperwork since they will be removing the vehicle from the location and moving <br />it directly to their yard at no cost to the city. Our agreement with that company would make them responsible for all <br />state required paperwork and for providing copies of said paperwork to the city. <br /> <br />Should this change not occur, the city will need to develope an impound site that would be surfaced in a manner that <br />does not allow vehicle contaminates to create environmental issues. <br /> <br />If this change is approved by Council, staff would amend our procedure for the handling/removal of inoperable/junk <br />vehicles and coordinate with established, state approved salvage/demolisher companies. Our proposal includes <br />implementation with the effective date of the ordinance. <br /> <br />Action Reauired bv Council: <br /> <br />Consider approval of an Ordinance #99-13 87 -C and/or provide staff with direction <br /> <br /> <br />rJ -cJ {- O~ <br /> <br />Date ( <br />
